Disappointed in MOFI Ultradeck

[rrc4860]

So, now my $2500 turntable can be had for $1499. That's more than a little disconcerting.

Not to mention, the platter has always wobbled. And when you power it up, the motor shakes the tonearm mightily.

You can't tell me that motor is well isolated. Or that vibration magically stops.

I guess this is a 1499 turntable after all. Thanks for the sucker punch MOFI.

Why not submit a warranty claim?

Oh, so I figured I'd try to sell it (what's it worth now 2 years old? 350 bucks?) I reach out to MOFI to see if I can get a replacement factory shipping box.

Nope. They're all out. I'm guessing the rush to dump these tables is on.

Ask me if I'm interested in the 5k MOFI turntable. Just wait on that-- they'll drop that to 3k soon, I am sure.

Coming in strong outta the gates....there's an ultra/studio deck thread where folks might be able to help you

I wrote them about the platter wobble and the reply from the fellow at MOFI was that his platter wobbles too and I shouldn't worry about it.

I hate to be such a whiner. But I'm disappointed in the turntable. And the decision to drop the price 1k makes me wonder why it was ever 2400 to begin with.

I can offer you $200. I feel like that's fair, given I've read some reviews that these models suffer from platter wobble. That offer includes shipping, btw.

Unfortunately that $2400 was due to the Pandy Inflation. When I bought mine, it was $1,999.
I believe it is recommended to give the platter a spin before smashing that power button. That is what I do.
